Ron Paul Campaign Names New ‘Hispanics for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition Members

National advisory board grows with members hailing from America’s fastest-growing voter group

LAKE JACKSON, Texas– The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced today additional members of its “Hispanics for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition.

“We welcome the addition of these new members, whose compelling reasons for why they support Dr. Paul inspire many Americans, Hispanic and not. All Americans have a stake in restoring personal and economic liberty, but in particular many Hispanics trace their immigration heritage to nations where liberty and opportunity are denied them. Dr. Paul understands this,” said Fernando Cortes, referring to the prolife congressman as “doctor” because Paul is by trade an OB/GYN who personally delivered more than 4,000 babies.

Mr. Cortes, for his part, serves as Deputy Controller and Hispanic Outreach Director for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee, Inc.

Similar to those first joining the coalition during its launch in November, the new members being announced today are leaders in their community who are representative of the support Dr. Paul enjoys from America’s fastest-growing population and voter segment.

A recent poll shows Dr. Paul faring better among nonwhite votes than any other Republican candidate when matched against incumbent President Barack Obama. “Hispanics for Ron Paul,” then, offers the Ron Paul campaign the opportunity to form a larger winning coalition by sharing his message of personal and economic liberty among voters of Hispanic ancestry.

Dr. Hector Caballero, a neurologist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, offered a personal endorsement of the 12-term Congressman from Texas, combining his admiration for Dr. Paul with a condemnation of the authoritarian regimes under which he lived while residing in Cuba and the Soviet Union.

“Dr. Paul’s persistent fight for the cause of individual liberty and proven integrity attracted me to his message with open fervor and enthusiasm. After living in the Soviet Union and Cuba, you develop a strong understanding of what liberty is all about and you understand that liberty is very fragile and scarce. You understand that you are never free enough. Freedom is always lost in exchange for security and the falsehood of the common good. Liberty is the most important human currency and is only exchangeable for more of it. No other leader has a more profound understanding of this principle than Dr. Paul,” said Dr. Caballero.

Also from Alabama and hailing from the Birmingham area, Senior SQA Engineer Marcelo Muñoz helped establish the largest Tea Party group in Alabama. He has led a number of small-government and anti-tax efforts in his home state, and was elected to serve as GOP vice-chair in his county.


Originally from Santiago, Chile, Mr. Muñoz’s parents left their homeland in 1972 due to the rise of Salvador Allende and his Marxist regime. Their family settled in New Jersey, and from their struggle Mr. Muñoz has come to realize the unquestionable need to preserve freedom in his new homeland of America.

“Having served around the world as a member of the U.S. Air Force as well as having lived under both a left-wing Marxist regime and a right-wing military dictatorship, I’m acutely aware of the values and freedoms we currently enjoy and understand how fragile they are. As a veteran I took an oath to protect our Constitution. It is refreshing to see a fellow Air Force veteran honor that very same oath through his principled leadership,” said Mr. Munoz.

Explaining the solution a Paul Presidency offers, Mr. Muñoz continued, “Our country is in need of a true statesman, not more of the same tired politicians that have almost destroyed our country. A sound monetary policy, a responsible fiscal policy, and a constitutional foreign policy implemented by a President Paul will ensure that the flame of liberty will continue to light the world.”

Mr. Muñoz is the Alabama Campaign Chairman for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign and founder of the Tea Party Caucus while serving on Alabama’s Republican State Executive Committee, a partisan governing body. Over the years Mr. Muñoz has been a member of and volunteered with many civic organizations, but he is most proud of his work with the American Legion, the Blue Star Mothers, and the Hale Empowerment and Revitalization Organization.

Emiliano Antunez of Miami, Florida has been active in his state and local Republican Party, serving in several leadership positions over the years. He characterized Dr. Paul as, “The only presidential candidate of any party that is addressing the issues that truly matter.”

Mr. Antunez further explained why he selected Dr. Paul, saying that, “When it comes to important issues such as the national debt, federal government spending, monetary policy, and foreign policy, only Ron Paul is clear on what needs to be done. Most important to me is that Ron Paul’s campaign is supported and funded by grassroots efforts, not special interest money from the actual source of our economic turmoil and foreign policy fiascos we are currently experiencing.”

As a function of this announcement, Messrs. Caballero, Muñoz, and Antunez are all members of the “Hispanics for Ron Paul” national advisory board.

Ron Paul Campaign Names New

Ron Paul's government guillotine

The Tax Man Cometh

by Jack Hunter

Qualifications: U.S. representative from Texas. Former Air Force flight surgeon. Qualified to deliver babies.

Unique Ideas: Adopting a non-interventionist foreign policy. Making massive cuts in federal government, including the elimination of the Department of Education. Eliminating the income, capital gains, and death taxes.

Editor's Note: We asked each candidate to write a direct appeal to South Carolina voters. This response is from Jack Hunter. Hunter is the official campaign blogger for GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, and he co-wrote Rand Paul's The Tea Party Goes to Washington. You can hear Southern Avenger commentaries on The Morning Buzz with Richard Todd on 1250 WTMA.

With a $15 trillion national debt, high unemployment, a bad economy, and the biggest-spending president in American history in office, we face serious and unprecedented problems in this country. We know we can count on the Democrats to keep making these problems worse.

The question is: Can we count on Republicans to stop them?

The short answer is no. Despite their limited-government rhetoric, the majority of "conservative" Republicans have exhibited neither the intention nor the political will of changing the status quo in Washington. How do we know this? Because no matter which party holds power, the federal government and our national debt grow larger. Before Obama, George W. Bush was the biggest-spending president in American history. Various frontrunners in the 2012 presidential election — Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry — all largely supported Bush's agenda and today offer nothing more than various versions of the same big-government Republicanism.

For politics-as-usual to change in Washington, it only makes sense that such change would come from a candidate some consider to be an unusual politician. As Ron Paul's critics never tire of pointing out, he is not a conventional Republican. They're right. He's a conservative. A real one. Paul's budget plan — the only budget plan with specific cuts, not just rhetorical ones — would save $1 trillion in the first year by eliminating five federal departments and addressing wasteful Pentagon spending, while still protecting Medicare and Social Security and strengthening veterans' benefits.

After eliminating the departments of education, energy, commerce, interior, and housing and urban development, Paul's Pentagon cuts would still allow for a military four times the size of China's and greater than what Bush was spending on defense in 2005.

Paul's critics laughably call this "gutting" the military, but that these Pentagon cuts would simply take us back to 2005 numbers is indicative of just how out of control Obama's spending has become. It is also indicative of just how wedded to big government most Republican presidential candidates are that they will not even consider such cuts — even though we spend more on our military now than at any time since World War II and almost as much as every other nation on earth.

Still, said Gingrich of Paul's plan: "It's a non-starter." Not surprisingly, Newt offers no cuts of his own. None of them do. Santorum says he does, but then offers no specifics. The campaign season is when politicians are supposed to lie to us. Imagine what these guys would do in office? None of them offers anything in the way of seriously limiting government to the degree that we desperately need it. It's as if the Tea Party never existed.

Besides the spending cuts, there are other issues of importance to voters. For conservatives, Paul scores an A+ on all of them: Second Amendment protection, pro-life record, right-to-work, pro-business, anti-tax, states' rights, you name it. Paul also believes America should have the strongest national defense on earth — which he believes begins with not trying to constantly police the earth.

Right now, our government puts our best and bravest in harm's way on a regular basis for questionable reasons and with no discernible notion of victory. This is not supporting the troops. It's abusing them. Soldiers sign up to protect this country — not every other country — and not while asking their kids and grandkids to foot the bill. Paul believes that if the United States needs to go to war it should be through an official declaration of war as the Constitution demands and our soldiers deserve.

Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen has said that the greatest threat to our national security is our national debt. Ron Paul isn't simply the "best" Republican candidate to tackle our greatest problem — he's the only candidate willing to do so. Heading into 2012, the question for Republican voters is not whether they can afford to vote for Ron Paul — it's whether they can afford not to.
